One variation of that I would get when asking if the phone number wasn't printed on the check (way back when I first started working cash register in the grocery store biz) would be:

"I dunno. I don't call myself." (half the time followed by a har-har-har.)

My answer to that would be "I don't call myself either but I do know my home phone number in case of emergency."

Yes I know you don't call yourself, but on the other hand, yours is the only number you're likely to be giving out to people. It's the only one I've memorised and for that exact purpose!

And doesn't it feel just wonderful to make idiots like this feel like the idiots they are? And there's absolutely nothing they can say about it . . .

I always use that excuse when they ask for a work number or cell number. No, I don't know it, because I don't call myself. I also don't know it, because I don't want anyone to call me there. Seriously, I think only four people/entities have those numbers. 95% of the time, I don't answer my home number, either. Don't call me.
